Christy Ucheibe inspires SL Benfica to Portuguese Women's Cup final

Christy Ucheibe was outstanding for SL Benfica as they confirmed their place in the 2019-20 Portuguese Women's Cup final following Wednesday's 2-1 semi-final win over Famalicao.

The title-holders had eased past Amora after an 11-2 victory to reach the last four and then the semi-final clash with Famalicao was scheduled for May, but postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Back then, Ucheibe was missing for Benfica as the Nigeria youth international was ineligible to feature in the quarter-final, having only joined the Portuguese side a few days before the tie in February.
